An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden,but it was very hard work. His only son, Bubba, who used to help him,was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his predicament.

Dear Bubba,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to
plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be
digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles
would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love, Dad:
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Dad:
For HEAVEN'S SAKE, Dad, don't dig up the garden! That's where I
buried the GUNS!
Love, Bubba
At 4 A.M. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police
officers showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any guns.

They apologized to the old man and left.

Dear Dad,
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. It's the best I could do
under the circumstances.
Love, Bubba
